Hi, I purchased a Sony Vaio Fit (Model no: SVF15N17CXB) about 14 months ago and the other day when I went to start it back up, an error message kept coming up saying the Hard Drive was not detected. I tried going through all of the troubleshooting methods available (restoring, etc.) and that didn't resolve the issue. After that, I took the laptop to Best Buy where I was told the hard drive was bad. I ended up buying a brand new HD (same type, 1TB SD/HDD Hybrid) and after installing it into the laptop I received the same error; HD not detected.
After doing a bit of research, I've come up with two other possible issues. 1. it could be the SATA controller that has failed, or the motherboard. Does anyone know a possible way to find out if it might be one or the other, and what possible solutions I might have in fixing either solution, depending on what it might be?
This laptop cos me a lot and I'd like to get it fixed so I can continue using it. Thanks!
